Watertown

got some bad news
its been heading round
they are closing the mill
right here in watertown
locking the gates
pulling the time clock out
won't do us no good
to fight or to shout

fight or to shout


got me a cabin
back in the woods
we won't want for meat if the
hunting stays good
heard of some jobs paying
cash for the hours
just spent my days wages on
coffee sugar and flour

sugar and flour

It's All Wild

there you are
standing there
looking like
a lost cause
time was
I was only
thinking 'bout
how to get lost

so I took a drive down
thru California
all the while staying out of the sun
if I knew then well
I would have warn ya
not to be so slow when you run

from love
from pain
whets the difference
anyway
shoot low
they could be crawling
and it looks like their coming to stay

take what you're given
don't ask for any thing more
breathin but not living
it's all wild
it's all wild
wild

what was that
you were saying
come closer so I can hear
your excuses
well I used them
they serve me well
but cost me dear

so I took drive down
thru California
all the while staying out of the sun
if I knew then well
I would have warn ya
not to be so slow when you run

from love
from pain
whets the difference
anyway
shoot low
they could be crawling
and it looks like their coming to stay

take what you're given
don't ask for any thing more
breathin but not living
it's all wild
it's all wild
wild

Small Life

Shafer spiked his last hurrah
deep into his veins
watched as the blood blossomed in the dropper
like a rose

free at last from witnessing
anything at all
he sits and stares at the wall
feels ten feet small

small life

well down the hall in 362
Billy flips head you live
tall's you loose
his inflatable lover

whistles Sinatra slow at mean
all dressed up with no where to go
don't every hear the sad songs on the radio
but he can't forget her name
that's all

small life

Shafer spiked his last hurrah
deep into his veins
watched as the blood blossomed in the dropper
like a rose

free at last from witnessing
anything at all
he sits and stares at the wall
feels ten feet small

small life

Carry Me

got a suitcase full of splitters that I pulled out of my heart
it comes with the territory and I've know it from the start
their is an aching all around me that is like to choke me dead with fright
and you should no the backup singers will have to carry me tonight
you should no the back up singers will have to carry me tonight

carry me tonight
carry me to light
carry me tonight

with a wealth of time sitting hear before us likely certain more with pass
and I'm thinking of a number so you should not have to ask
if it is so hard why don;t we all just drown in all the spit and you should no
the backup singers will have to carry me tonight
and you should know the backup singers will have to carry me tonight

carry me tonight
carry me to light
carry me tonight

Twill

run pretty mama run for your soul
you don't understand what you meant from the get go
where you are going is where I've been we all
jump down turn around do it again

this time its different this time it mine
sit back for the ride everything will be fine
it wont hurt a bit please lie still
always hope it gets better but I don't think it will


I must be crazy crazy
to the heart you know I twill
stars at night are so hazy hazy
and the sky so still

baked beans on white toast cider and ale
check out the box that you get in the mail
shooting straight down the telephone wires
don't you ever forget where there smoke there's fire

look twice before you leap watch your step
is it hard to believe this is as good as it gets
think for yourself, don't be a tool
and always remember who your trying to fool

I must be crazy crazy
to the heart you know I twill
stars at night are so hazy hazy
and the sky so still

what's your game boy what is your trip
you are getting to old to be so tragically hip
take it down a notch see how that feels
you say that's just the way that the apple peels

synchronize your watch to the second hand
with out a doubt I am your biggest fan
how does it feel to be so alone
go out for a walk give your dog a bone


I must be crazy crazy
to the heart you know I twill
stars at night are so hazy hazy
and the sky so still

Slow

this is the time
to leave doubt behind
follow your bling
no its the thing

when we are gone
nothing lives on
maybe pictures and words
testament absurd

who cares if you fall
hell you aren't that tall
stay low to the ground
and don't make a don't make a don't make a sound

today green and yellow make blue and me too
today green and yellow make blue and me too


sorrow and loss
just name your cost
drop my a line
or speak it in time

this is the hour
we are set to devour
its all sugar an cream
and nothing between

today green and yellow make blue and me too
today green and yellow make blue and me too

Ode to Ian Dury

Here we go.....

Come help me with my bags
Their filled with broken hearts you bastard
And take the rubbish out
It stinks of plans that we've forgotten
I don't hear what you say
Now that you've gone away

Do you find pleasure in my pain
Cause I can't feel any thing no more
No more

Do you recall the time we ran
We pissed ourselves in laughter
The ladies on the bus all scowled
There faces pinched and old
They said it was ok
You loved me anyway
I know it happened but know it feels
Just like I was dreaming

You left me stuck out in the rain
In fact you locked the fucking door
fucking door

How is it that such good time turned
To turning under
Why do you want to go with him?
He's such a wanker
Lets start it all again
Make new of what has been
Why don't you look me in the eyes
When you see that I am dyeing


Do you find pleasure in my pain
Cause I can't feel any thing no more
No more
